Bruce's Message to America + Selections From the Land Of Hope & Dreams Tour, (a re--post from Ranting Randy [View all]

Bruce Springsteen opened his new tour tonight not with fanfare—but with a warning.
From a stage in Manchester, he sent a message home. Not of glory days—but of grief, resilience, and reckoning.
Three songs. Three statements. A country in crisis.
This is what it looks like when an artist holds a mirror to America.
Watch. Listen. Feel every word.
